This is a wooden block with rows of carved text. The letters are raised, evenly spaced, and look like they’re ready for printing. There are three sections, each with its own small circular mark in the middle. The block is old—carved by hand to hold Buddhist scripture. It’s not a painting, but it’s still a piece of art. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more like this.
